   | | - Rural adults are more obese than urban counterparts
Data from the 2005-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey revealed nearly 40% of adults in rural areas were obese, compared with 33% of those living in urban communities. Researchers also found that rural adults were more likely to be obese if they were married or black, while urban adults had a higher obesity risk if they were older, black, had lower education, were sedentary or had a higher percentage of calorie intake from fats. The results appear in the Journal of Rural Health. HealthDay News (9/14)        |  | Get More with The Business Platinum Card from American Express OPEN.
